OT: Satellite vs. Cable

[jetonejet]

What I did was go with Directv and have the $12 month “basic” with Cox with their home phone bundle. The basic includeds Padres channel 4. Cox gives you a bundle discount so the basic cable works out to $6 a month, and their phone service is about the same as ATT. To bad Cox’s sports and picture is crap. I love Directv, it kicks ass.

We’ve used Cox at three different houses in the last few years and found them to be pretty good and responsive. Good in-house support, good phone support.

Of course, we don’t watch a lot of TV. We do use a lot of internet, which is what would concern me if we went with a dish. I’m a speed freak and would not be happy with any reduction in upload or download speed.

That being said, Cox did do a biff recently in that they quit supporting a few types of cable modems – without notifying those customers that had them (they know what you have – whenever I call them they tell ME what I’m using). No problem, I thought, I’ll run down to Frys and get a new one.

Nope, they were completely sold out! Apparently Cox had screwed a lot of people that day.

Directv’s installation company blows and of course, Directv doesnt take responsibility for their actions.

I dont agree that DTvs picture quality is better. I thought cox had a better picture. In terms of channel offerings, DTV has the most at the moment but that could change quickly.

Personally I wish Verizon would drop FIOS every in SD county. Or I wish Dtv would come up with a wireless solution to send the signal from the sat to the boxes in your home.
